About the role

Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY seeks a Director to oversee the federally-funded Talent Search program, manage staff and the grant-driven operations, and develop initiatives to boost middle and high school student success and college enrollment. You will collaborate with school partners and WKU leadership, supervise recruitment and training, administer the annual budget, ensure TRIO compliance, and report outcomes through APR while maintaining audit-ready files.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
